Or you could just skip the Etsy reseller posing as a handmade crafter, and buy straight from China. http://www.aliexpress.com/product-fm/542642143-Octopus-Wrap-Ear-Cuff-Alchemy-Gothic-Stud-Wrap-Octopus-Lure-Fashion-Ancient-Wrap-Ear-Cuff-new-wholesalers.html

@Melissa@Eileen CoxHOnestly, upon further inspection I don't think the etsy seller is a reseller. I think she may be getting ripped off herself. I certainly wouldn't put it past Alibaba to rip off someone. They used one of my photos once to sell pettiskirts. Martymagic says she uses bronze to make hers and Alibaba says their's are silver colored and made of zinc alloy. At any rate, I'm keeping both links at the top, you can choose whom you want to purchase from. Martymagic's are a bit more expensive. If you want the look without the price you can choose to buy from Alibaba but I'm guessing that the Alibaba ones are not as detailed. At any rate, if anyone ever buys one of these let me know what the quality is like and I'll post about it.

She is getting ripped off. I have met her in person at the MD Renaissance Festival and have many pieces of her jewelry. I love her bats and have almost all of them. It is pricy but everything I have is solid sterling silver. The heavy stuff. This just makes me sad.
